I am currently attending the state approved course for administartion of an assisted living facility. I do not currently have a degree, however I have worked in assisted living for approximately 8 years(as C.N.A, Med Tech, & Activities Director)So to say in short I have climbed the ladder and learned alot along the way. Would it be feasable to take in account all the hands on experience I have recieved.

Another possible idea I would like to express. Would it be possible to allow the current administartators to stay in there positions but require them to accomplish certain task before a time period so they may stay in there role and continue education.

I do believe that school is great, however I do believe that the hands on experience that i have recieved should equal if not orverdue time in class,knowing all regulations and how to manage all books are required regardless if you go to school or not, but the social interaction with the public and residents may only be generted by hands on experience.
